An EPOS System for Independent Retailers

Life as an independent retailer can be hard work. It's a life of long hours, but it is also very rewarding running your own business. With an Electronic Point of Sale System from RCS you can make your business more profitable and more productive.

With an EPOS system your cash register will suddenly become a much more powerful tool. You will be able to manage stock and orders efficiently and easily. It becomes an encyclopedia of knowledge relating to your business. You can tell in an instant if an item is out of stock, and the system can help suggest alternatives for your customers too. The system will be simple to use, so it will be easy for new staff to get to grips with working for you and quickly get up to speed.

An EPOS system can give you the flexibility to offer a huge range of promotions, offers and customer loyalty schemes which you can implement with ease and simplicity.

Stock control also becomes simpler as the system takes care of your stock control for you. Any independent retailer will know how time consuming stock taking can be, and it's easy to make a mistake. Your EPOS system won't make any errors though! You can set alerts if your stock starts to run low, and you can run reports to see which items are your best and worst sellers so you know what to stock up on and what perhaps to stop selling and replace with a more popular product.

Your system will also help with your accounts and transaction reports. VAT reports can easily be created for each financial period, and can be linked in to accounting software packages too.

With an EPOS system your life will definitely be easier. You'll save a great deal of time which is your most important asset as an independent retailer. You'll have more time to grow your business rather than struggling to just keep on top of the day to day running of it, and you'll be able to see your profits grow when you take advantage of the advanced reports offered by the system software which analyses all your sales and transactions.

Staff will be easier to train as the system is easy to use and they'll be happier in their job as a lot of the complexity of working in a shop is taken away from them. They don't need to remember every offer and promotion you have running and the system will give them advice on how best to serve the customer giving them useful suggestions so they can be the most help. Your customers will leave your shop with everything they need feeling like they've had an amazing customer experience. With an EPOS system it's easy to go the extra mile.
